Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The dependent variable in this study is the measure of driving ability, specifically measured by the number of obstacles hit. The independent variable is the amount of alcohol consumption, which Tai is manipulating by giving participants two, four, or six beers. The number of drinks consumed is not the dependent variable, but rather part of the independent variable being manipulated.
